I would put the 90's Cowboys up against anyone. The 70's had a few dynasty type teams in one decade, with the Steelers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Raiders and yes, even the Vikings, who never won a title, but damn, they were awesome in the 70's too!! What an era, the 90's Cowboys fit right in with that bunch. It was so fun watching the balance of those great Cowboy teams of the 90's, they could beat you by smashmouth and running it down your throat or, if you totally stacked it against the run, they could unleash the Playmaker, Troy, Harper, Kevin WIlliams, Novacek and others along the way!!
TXraindear none of his linemen were probowlers before emmitt. Also, barry had two really good linemen for most of his career. Lions weren’t a BAD team. They got into playoffs many times but obviously lions were not good enough for any nfc powerhouses. Cowboys definitely had a great line, no one doubts that, but emmitt really helped make that line look better due to his ability to see and read the defense and hit the holes quickly and effectively. Lions liked to run spread which gives barry more room to improvise and do his thing. So, to answer the question, yes, i think barry runs for more if he plays for the cowboys. No idea how much, I don’t like hypotheticals, but I think to some degree. You have to bear in mind that cowboys ran I formation often where emmitt had a fb blocking for him and two te’s. In 1997’s first two games lions ran it and barry runs for 50 yeards total only. They switch back to spread and barry runs for that 2k. However, with cowboys line, barry wouldnt be met by the defense in the backfield as much so that’s a factor too. Lions went 8-8 and 9-7 in the 99 and 00, hardly a dip. Always the same shit. Two different runners. Appreciate both. Reliability, consistency + longetivity vs super entertaining, highlight machine, always prone to break a big play. Same comparison with rice and moss.
It would have been awesome if John Madden had been hired after Jimmy Johnson left. He was so meticulous as a head coach in Oakland. Aikman would have loved the attention to detail.
You saw the limitations of the old-school Run & Shoot offense that Atlanta ran. When it worked it was a thing of beauty, such as the George TD pass to Metcalf or the second drive to a FG. But it was ineffective in the red zone as the field got smaller, (run & shoot teams kicked a lot of short field goals) and eventually, with just 5 offensive linemen, NFL defenses would start to get pressure on the QB and shut it down. Could be fun to watch but ultimately not a successful strategy against NFL defenses.
@@bostonredsox49 But, it wasn't serendipitous, that was my point. The schedule for the NFL comes out several months before the season starts. And, Sanders played for several teams in both his careers, which lessens the serendipity that you admire.....but, if that's your thing, God Bless You, amigo.....
@@tedsilversyeager840 When the 1995 NFL schedule came out, we didn't know if there was gonna be an MLB season let alone who would win the 1995 World Series. Considering Deion is an Atlanta legend for playing with the Braves and Falcons on the same day...
@@bostonredsox49 Of course "we" knew there would be an MLB season. You didn't? As soon as MLB threatened with replacement players, the players got serious, vis-a-vis negotiations. You know this, correct?? The season started a little late, and of course alienated wishy washy fans for a minute. Kinda like what happens currently, when MLB, or the NFL, NBA, NHL, go woke. A lot of bombast, and then they're filling the seats, as if nothing happened. But, I digress....Deon, is a legend, if. you wish him to be. As shared, if that's what you're all about, God Bless you, amigo....
Classic Sports just was wondering do you have anymore 1994 & 1995 Jeff George Atlanta Falcons, 1997 Jeff George Oakland Raiders, 1998-04 Randall Cunningham, Jeff George, Duante Culpepper, & Randy Moss Minnesota Vikings on the horizon in the very near future to be posted here on your UA-cam channel at your earliest convenience of course?
Ever since about ‘95 the only thing Dallas has lacked, the only thing that kept them from being a legitimate super bowl threat, deep playoff team is their defense. They’ve had a great offense most of every year, just a garbage defense and defense is what wins you championships. Maybe Jerry realized that again here in 2021
But in the ensuing few years after this final title in '95, it was the Cowboys' offense that actually held them back. The defense was stellar in '96, but the offense struggled to score touchdowns in the red zone. Then the '97 season turned into a disaster. Chan Gailey righted the ship to some degree in '98, but the inexplicable blowout home playoff loss to the Cardinals ruined much of the goodwill. 1999 started well, but Irvin's injury basically derailed any hope that that team had for sustained winning.
@@tkramer62283Cowboys had a good 4 year run on other teams foolishness. The ridiculously wacky Minnesota trade and the 49ers trading Charles Haley and then two years later not even offering Deion Sanders a contract. Troy Aikman wasn’t much of a big time QB, but a QB with great all-pro players around him. Troy couldn’t carry a team and it showed after 1995. Jimmy Johnson was really overrated and a product of all that draft capital that landed the greatest RB of all-time (Emmitt Smith) who literally “carried” that team to those Super Bowls. When Jimmy Johnson went to the Miami Dolphins, he got his ass handed to him. Jimmy’s final game was a 62-7 humble pie ass kicking. The Cowboys have been irrelevant since 1996. Let’s be real here, those other teams don’t make those idiotic decisions, the Cowboys are literally stuck on two championships from the 70s. That’s exactly why Cowboys fans run to these old videos, cuz since 1996 there isn’t jack-shit to talk about.
Back when my Boys whipped ass now Jerry has turned them into a punch line in a joke..........Jeff George was a int passer not much better than sub-par lol........
Now days it don’t matter how crappy another team is, they’ll utterly dominate Dallas defense with ease. That’s why the Cowboys haven’t barely even made the playoffs in 25 years, weak defense.
@@guero74078 what have Dallas done since then the last two times they was the number one seed they choked to the Giants after sweeping them in the regular season they also choked to Green Bay, those bums ran into a destroyed 49er team last year and couldn't even win there division which is probably the weakest in NFL history I'm not trying to hear no cowboy talk the 49ers Drew last blood in the championship game deal with it you cowboy fans love to talk that if garbage the bottom line is the 49ers jumped out on their ass 21 zip and held them off.
@@seankeys5384 lmao aint nobody talking about any of that webare taking about back then so stop it ast I remember yu guys got beat by the packers in 95 and didn't even make the nfc chip and we destroyed the packers and went on to win the sb again and as far as last year we had no Dak or zeke and still destroyed you guys we always have lol nice try
@@seankeys5384 and that 1994 nfc chip was yall last chance to beat us befor you guys blew up you had to go get deon and a bunch of free agents to beat us mean while that year Erik William was out enmit Smith was hurt and we had lost Jimmy Jhonson and we still almost came back if not for that we beat you guys again 3 times in a row so stop it you guys flat out could not beat dallas and get desperate congrats on that win though lol
@@guero74078 after we ended you guys three-peat hopes we turned around and beat yall ass with gerbec and y'all had deion Sanders Lol, the 49ers were the worst banged up team in the NFL last season tell me why Dallas can't win that week-ass division if they're so good didn't Dallas lose to the Jets the last time they met lol
In a few of these highlights, that was the case. Overall though, Emmitt did it all. He got the tough inside yards and could make linebackers miss at the second level. He got hit plenty of times and was nicked up for portions of several seasons, but was as durable and tough as anyone in the league.
Emmitt's record for most attempts alltime is so underrated. Took longevity and toughness. The good old days!
One thing about this cowboys team that you don’t see so much of anymore, is these guys loved each other, they were almost like a big family.
Yep. It's one of the big positives about them. They were genuinely happen for each other whenever any one did good.
I know he's not an all time great QB. But watching Jeff George throw a football, is one of the greatest things ever.
Great to see The Moose get a TD!

Agree. I wasn't a fan but I always thought that team was the most talented from top to bottom that I ever saw
Same here. And the 70s Cowboys sometimes fell short in big games.
The way Madden threw that jab at Switzer. “He has a group of good players and a good coaching staff” 😂😂😂😂
Darren Woodson was a beast!
Emmitt was so good
Emmitt's OLine was really good. Just imagine Barry Sanders with that line...

@@pureblood8198 Quit whining and get over it.
@@pureblood8198 Just imagine Barry Sanders with a good suit, or a pretty wife or riding a skateboard, or eating cake, or...
@@pureblood8198 Barry and Emmitt were totally different runners stylistically. The offensive line talk has been vastly overstated for 25+ years.
Man, miss hearing Pat Summeral and John Madden call games
Me too
It would have been awesome if John Madden had been hired after Jimmy Johnson left. He was so meticulous as a head coach in Oakland. Aikman would have loved the attention to detail.
Good God that arm on George! Shame he was such a headcase.

When the Cowboys were the Cowboys and everyone was afraid to play against the Cowboys, i wish the Cowboys had another Moose.
Except the 49ers
Do you have the Dallas/Atlanta games from December 1991 or October 1996?
The 1991 game is on daily motion I believe.
1:50 … Russell Maryland takes flight, pays a big price
9:42 … Maryland comes down the line to make the stop
12:59 … Charles “Hustle” Haley
The Braves won the World Series the night before and Deion was in town
Yes, he was playing for the Cowboys, why wouldn't he be in town??
